Waiver Wire pickups for Week 5:
1. Will Shipley - Bigsby on IR and Saquon always injured, Shipley could step into the starting role.
2. Dohnte Meyers - 7 receptions, 9 targets, 82 yards. Chase in concussion protocol, Higgins injured.
3. Joe Mixon - Visiting Seahawks 👀
It’s pouring rain in Washington and the field conditions could be rough once the tarp comes off, with rain expected to continue throughout the day. 🌦️🌦️

WEEK 5 WEATHER WATCH:
CLE vs NYJ: 95% chance of rain; 12 mph winds with 22-24 MPH gusts
IND vs PIT: 90% chance of rain; 10 MPH winds and 18-21 MPH gusts
NYG vs WAS: 80% chance of rain; 10-12 MPH winds, with 22-26 MPH gusts (winds and gust speed decrease as the game goes on)
HOU vs TEN: 40% chance of rain; 10 MPH winds, with 17-18 MPH gusts
CIN vs MIA: 25% chance of rain
DEN vs LAC: 5% chance of rain in the 1st Half; 10% in the 2nd half; 11-12 MPH winds and 17 MPH gusts
*CLE vs NYJ would be the game to watch weather-wise with constant rain all game*
*IND vs PIT & NYG vs WAS would be the other 2 likely weather-impacted games, but CLE vs NYJ takes the cake with the constant rain*
*Once again, this is weather, and weather is completely unpredictable*
With Michael Pittman out for multiple weeks & Roman Wilson already swooped up off waivers, a sneaky stash here is Germie Bernard
When Michael Pittman missed week 2, Bernard & Wilson had the same snap count (79%), ran the same amount of routes (55) & Bernard had 8 targets to Wilson’s 6
The Steelers also have the 3rd highest pass rate in the NFL at 66%, there’s a chance 3 WRs could be fantasy relevant here
Available in 95% of Sleeper leagues
@GarthABowen Very true! All of those guys are temporary, out of all of them Shipley is the most likely candidate but could only be a week or two.
I also like Roman Wilson (27th in fantasy) and secretly I would stash MH Jr if he gets traded to the Colts.

Consider picking up these guys to help you in week 2:
Rashod Bateman - He is WR1 in Baltimore against NO this weekend with Zay & Lane out, Chris Moore is also an option.
Keenan Allen - 6 for 6, 32 yards, look for more target share on shallow routes that DJ likes to hit.
